Zoom is great. It did have a bad news cycle because they had installed a url handler that let folks initiate meetings with video sharing just by getting them to click a link. That news cycle got that behavior removed and now there's a confirmation screen before you go into a meeting after clicking a link.
Zoom has been pretty consistently terrific for us. I'm at a distributed company so we live in it and it's very reliable and makes it easy to see the faces of _everyone_ on the call with you.

- ilikepi 7y agoThis is the same issue. The component in question was responsible for the URL handling, and it was also responsible for reinstalling the Zoom client app if it was not present when a link was clicked.
